Plans to landmark the famed Germania Club go before the full city council next month for final approval.

Alderman Brendan Reilly (42nd) Saturday announced that the city council will consider recommendations to landmark the club at their September meeting.

At least twice during recent decades the 121-year-old building was slotted for demolition.

If historic landmark status is approved, the Germania Club becomes eligible for a number of tax breaks and incentives. Future alterations to the 1889 building, with Romanesque style and a showing of German neoclassical design, will be kept from “significant alteration or demolition,” according to Reilly.

The club was designed by August Fielder of Eblin, Germany who came to Chicago in 1874 to join the reconstruction boom following the great Chicago fire of 1871. Fielder designed many schools throughout the city, which at the time was home to a large German immigrant population.
